Yeah, I use pinboard.in which is quite nice. Example public bookmarks from my account: pinboard.in/u:ancarda

Do you use the archiving feature?

When have you last expressed your thanks to some open source maintainer? I see a lot of demands, disappointment and entitlement on issue trackers. It is a pity that expressions of gratitude are not tracked the same way. My suggestion; hack yourself into giving something back. Automatic donations, recurring reminders or email templates. The key is to automate the deed, even if only partly, so doing The Right Thing becomes easy.

It's a term that's been passed down from Usenet (I think) before internet access was ubiquitous. Summers would be relatively calm with good discussion, but in September all the college students would get access to their school networks and the influx of new users ignorant to the community standards would drive down the quality. When user growth accelerated exponentially, the constant influx of new users overwhelmed the communities that couldn't adapt. For me, Facebook is important as a way to communicate with friends and family back home. Twitter is great if you have a well curated list.

I use steam 100% on linux now and buy every linux game i can get my hands on and admonish publishers for not releasing on linux. Join the fight :P

It feels like online social platforms have really become less useful over the last year or two. I guess it's the Eternal September problem, but it feels like more than that. Anyway, I'm going to share more on Sublevel as a way of coping with how terrible my Facebook feed has gotten.

Unfortunately, no. Much more practical things like always being able to find stuff we've hidden from him and spotting every single airplane and loudly informing all of us.

Yeah developer too. I moved house a few months ago and still haven't configured my very nice DD-WRT enabled router(mostly for network-wide VPN support) with my ISP, just using the crappy one that came with the internet...

At least disable UPNP ;) I plan to play around with OpenBSD on a PINE64. It is clearly even more effort to start learning yet another thing, but (at least looking from the outside) the OpenBSD seems to manage change carefully, so hopefully knowledge is useful longer term. But it also seems to rely on a lot of implicit knowledge, so I`ll see if the hurdle is to big...

"The state of image compression" is interesting. You're probably thinking of github.com/google/... - released not too long ago by Google.

Profile pictures are JPEGs at 240x240px, 85% quality, progressive with no chroma subsampling. Yes, they are pretty big for simple avatars but they are cached by your browser. Almost 1.75x bigger on average than normal JPEG settings of 75% quality and strong chroma subsampling. I guess quality matters too, not just speed.

I have google mesh wifi. It's all controlled by an app and auto configures itself for best performance.

So, emacs or vi? Please help me decide

Not an IT professional, but I've been procrastinating on some ideas for my home network which includes a NAS, a firewall, and VPN for all of my traffic.

How much effort do other IT professionals spend on their own home network infrastructure? As a developer, I roughly know what *should* be done, but find it mostly overwhelming in terms of time and effort.
